Great selection of surf and turf. I heard the sea bass was divine and decided to give the swordfish a go. Flavor was great but the steak was unevenly cooked, dry on one end and nearly raw on the other. I should have said something to the server at the time, but my grandma was paying for the meal and I didn't want her to feel bad. 😕 My issues, I know. It's the kind of restaurant that would have insisted on grilling me a new piece of fish, but the other problem was that I didn't notice how raw the far end of the steak was until the rest of the family were done and nearly ready to leave. The moral

The service was horrible, we called ahead of time to check on hours and make reservations since it’s New Year’s Day. The hostess told us to come at the hour we were inquiring about. They seemed very bothered that we were there. The food took a long time for it to end up being cold. We had to ask the waitress multiple times for drinks etc. The worst part is that I went to the bathroom and as soon as I stepped on the tile floor I slipped and fell on my knee very hard, there was no wet floor signs and the floor was wet, I was able to get back up and walk towards the bathroom but not without slipping

Arrived on Tuesday evening and were seated in main dining room. The room was mostly full. We had the Bruschetta which had a wonderful presentation. I had the Cod special and it was wonderful. My wife had the Fillet Mignon.
The service was top notch, the food was very enjoyable, even as left overs the next day. All in all it was a very nice dining experience. This seems to be a rarity these days.

Either had to have a reservation or it was an hour wait for the seating side. Or could sit in the bar side immediately. I went to the bar. One bartender greatest me immediately after I sat down and I asked her what draught beers they had & she let me sample the seasonal beer they were offering. Didn't like it so went w/ a Blue Moon & asked for a menu. She brought me one. Then the other bartender (Chris) came over & took my order when she brought me my Blue Moon. I ordered the 14oz NY Strip steak, loaded baked potato, & a cup of French onion soup. The soup was good but I've had better back home

Went on a Sunday for a pick up order. Food was delicious however customer service is lacking. Went into restaurant and was not even acknowledged of my presence. Finally after several minutes of silence the young women told me the price withoit even looking at me and slammed the card on the table. I know if i go to McDonald's i would get better service. I do not want to spend my hard earn money on an expensive meal and be treated like I am invisible. Again food is great but I will not be coming back.

So my experience was not good. Went on a Sunday afternoon. Place was empty. Took my mom for her birthday. Took 45 min to get appetizers. The calamari was overcooked, like rubber bands. Dinner took another 45 minutes, and I had the steak salad. Steak was over cooked and served cold. The daughter's pasta was undercooked and sent back. $150 meal with tip that on their best day might be worth $60. I will never go back. If this is a steakhouse, then McDonald's is gourmet hamburgers. I suggest you avoid this place unless you just want an overpriced hamburger.
